A non-profit organization is planning a new search for two young children who vanished from rural Nova Scotia more than five months ago.

Jack and Lilly Sullivan, four and six years old, went missing after they reportedly wandered away from home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station, Pictou County, May 2.

According to a post on social media, Please Bring Me Home has scheduled a “coordinated search effort” for the brother and sister, the first weekend of November.

“This search will be conducted in cooperation with local authorities and landowners, and we want to assure the public that we will not be interrupting or interfering with any recreational activities or hunting taking place that weekend,” reads the post.

The group says many in the community have done their own searches and they appreciate all the concern and effort and encourage everyone to stay safe.

RCMP tells our newsroom they are aware of the search planned by Please Bring Me Home and that the initiative “is being organized separately” from their investigation.

Updated descriptions

Please Bring Me Home says they have been in contact with Jack and Lilly’s mother, Maleyha Brooks-Murray, who has updated their clothing description.

“Lilly was wearing a pink sweatshirt with “Barbie” written in silver metallic letters across the front. Her pajama bottoms were light pink with small, light-colored shapes. She had pink rainboots with a rainbow on them, and a white corduroy backpack with little strawberries all over it, that they used for “sleep-over’s,” says the post from the group.

“Jack was wearing black Under Armour pants over a pull-up, and dark blue rainboots with a dinosaur print,” the post says.

This clothing description for Lilly which includes silver metallic letters and the pajama bottoms has not been confirmed by RCMP.

Cadaver dogs and tips

In September, a search for the children by RCMP with cadaver dogs, came up short of detecting any human remains.

It covered a 40-kilometer area near the children’s home.

More than 8,060 functioning videos of Landsdowne Station and surrounding areas have been reviewed.

In addition to that, over 819 tips have been received and more than 80 people interviewed: some with a polygraph, including those close to the children.

Anyone with information is asked to call the major crimes department at 1-888-710-9090 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
